Xbench Olympics

In the spirit of good old-fashioned competition, let's have all the new iBook and PowerBook owners post their Xbench scores. Winner gets umm... the fastest computer on the block... which they already would have I suppose... ANYWAY, I'll start it off, please include computer specs so others can see the source of the score. Mine can be found in my signature.

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I've never heard of a stock 12" PB scoring higher than 100. Its hard enough for a 12" PB with 512MB or 768 MB of RAM to score that high. It may do so barely.

I know that I always score average for my rev B 12" 1GHz Powerbook with 512 MB of RAM. With my settings at HIGHEST = 98.00

With my setting at AUTOMATIC = 88.77

Can people with new Powerbooks also post their battery life when doing typical things like using iTunes, MS Word, and Safari?? I'm just curious as to whether people are actually getting higher battery life with their new PB's. The 12" PB can supposedly get 5+ hours, but the capacity of the new battery isn't even too much higher.
